In other words, it's as dangerous as you let it be. They can expect a few burns or cuts, but probably less than from cooking a salad. Point of information... hot glass looks just like cold glass.<BR/><BR/>I've got my own collection of injuries from fifteen years of glassblowing, including a bad finger from a cut (and repaired) tendon, and a few burns from hot glass here and there (my working flame runs at five thousand degrees).Dougallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289130509859912579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843198114362476108.post-64740159397327776612009-01-10T08:35:00.000-06:002009-01-10T08:35:00.000-06:00That is seriously bad ass.
